Why read it?
1 author picked Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This epic adventure is, hands down, my favorite nonfiction book of all time.

Incredible.
I could not put it down and have returned to it many times. Drop whatever you’re doing and go read this book!
